I remember most vividly moving from the "kids" table to the "adult" table...it wasn't for the food, it was for the conversation. One Aunt was surprised that "a child" could carry on intelligent conversation with her elders.
I've been looking for one of those sets for my kitchen. Seems like they were very "retro" popular for years, and now that I could use to replace my little kitchen table, I don't see them so much.No matter where I lived, an EIK (eat in kitchen) was the main requirement. The kitchen table was where I did prep work, sat with friends for coffee, helped the kids with homework, paid bills, wrote notes for school, read cookbooks, sat and talked on the phone, gave my babies their daily bath, lived my whole live around that kitchen table, and it is where my second husband was sitting when he proposed to me. He loved to sit at the table and watch me cook.
For years I had a chrome kitchen set with six chairs. Yes, they sold the whole set with six chairs. Chairs were not an optional item like today. Those cahairs and table saw a lot of life.

Addie, I grew up living in the kitchen! We had a table with six chairs (must have come as a set because they were all red including the table!) and a U shaped cooking area with two stools on the outside. Everything happened in that kitchen. I remember at Christmas time the table would be filled with cooling goodies I would help my Mom make. I did homework, we played games, visited, and even ate there once in awhile . Most of our close friends (and all my and my sister's friends used the side door which was right off the kitchen and probably never went further unless to the bathroom at the far end of the hall. I loved that kitchen and all its memories. Oh, and we didn't have a private dining room - Mom got rid of it and it became an extension of the living room.

I bet Melinda Gates did raise their kids. After all, she quit working at Microsoft not long after she married Bill so that they could start a family. Both of them are very involved in helping groups that help children. I bet even their kids have been taught to give back. Better pick another rich one to pick on!
If you want to be sure, I can see if my old neighbor can track Bill down at the MS campus the next time he heads up to Redman to teach a seminar, although Al has never run into Bill that I know of. FWIW, my old neighbor could BE Bill Gates! I swear we lived next to Bill's doppelganger!
That's not nearly as bad as what a friend of mines parents did. They lived in the country. Some time in the '50s, they got rid of the "yucky" old wooden furniture and replaced it with a "nice", new chrome and Formica kitchen table and vinyl upholstered chairs. They burnt the old stuff. They figured it couldn't be very good because it was really old - it had been in their family for many generations.You might be able to find those sets in antique shops. I see a lot of them in the different towns in NE CT where there are clusters of the shops together. Saw them for $$$ too, right after we gave my parents' set away. *sigh*
My mother did the same when clearing my grandmother's house. She burnt a Victorian chaise longue (circa 1860)which had belong to my great-grandmother, and my aunt and I only just managed to wrestle the "lady's" (the one without arms to accomodate her skirts) and the "gentleman's" (with arms) spoon-back chairs and one dining chair from mother's hands as she headed for the bonfire the second time! I now have them in my house.That's not nearly as bad as what a friend of mines parents did. They lived in the country.
